When the Worst Was Over

On our drive back from the Czech Republic we had a mixture of rain and clouds and then when we were back in Baden-Württemberg it all of a sudden started to rain so hard that we had to stop on the side of the road because it was too dangerous to go on driving. It only lasted about five minutes and after another couple of minutes the sun came out. The roads were still wet but we kept going because by that time we were hungry.

“Rain and wind, and wind and rain.
Will the Summer come again?
Rain on houses, on the street,
Wetting all the people’s feet,
Though they run with might and main.
Rain and wind, and wind and rain.”
Katherine Mansfield, Winter Song

Wet – pros and cons

Wet grass. It’s easy to forget how important water is.

Like when driving home in pouring rain and just looking forward to getting out of the wet clothes and snuggling down in a warm, dry place.

But sometimes we crave water. This was on the hottest day of that year, after having spent four or five hours in a school PE hall, on the way back to their accommodation. these guys saw a man watering his garden and begged for a cool down. They enjoyed getting wet so much!
